Humans have an exceptional ability to learn. However, there are also organisms that are able to learn even without a brain, for example “slime mould” and some plants. It’s not completely clear how Slime Mould is able to learn, however this tells us that the requirements for learning are maybe a little simpler than we...
In the last decade there has been a huge increase in surface-level tools to help “quantify” certain aspects of your physiology. Heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality and duration, steps, calories burned. Plus you have the classics like body mass (incorrectly termed “weight” usually).

Author Steven Pressfield debunks this in his book “The War of Art.” Marketing extraordinaire Seth Godin also opposes this. They claim that it really is just an excuse to...
